SXSW Twitter

SXSW Twitter: The South by Southwest conference has a SWF display of messages texted into the Twitter service. The interface makes sense to me -- easier to understand the feel of a crowd like this than in a linear text stream -- easy to picture this on a wall display. On my own computer I'd like to be able to click on people I'm interested in, to weight them for a little more prominence in subsequent display, maybe drag them around, be able to browse their recent history. Being able to enter a list of hotwords, to find other people at the same event, could be useful too. Here's the API, and there's prior research by Peter Elst, Aral Balkan, Mike Chambers.
